LMAO.

You're an idiot.

Your statement as to the gold-silver ratio, as usual, is based on bad information...... And HERE'S WHY...

As to your statement that gold is "a bubble that is ready to burst," then I suggest you put your money where your FAT mouth is at, and short some gold ETFs.

Your statements- based on nothing but your delusions, fed by MSM propagandists, make me laugh.

I don't play markets where others make undecipherable rules not in my favor.

But the big question here is: If I'm wrong, why would YOU care?

If the government got out of the way, what would certainly evolve is a system of digital currencies (probably attached to you cell phone) that was backed by gold or silver or some other scare commodity.

Gold is divisible down to one grain.

The American dollar was originally based on the Spanish dollar and was originally fixed at 371.25 grains of silver.

The old timers used to carry vials of gold dust around, and pulled a pinch for this or that which was weighed since everyone carried with them a small scale. But don't you dare sneeze during the transaction or there goes a month's hard work. The people who really made out in those days were the floor sweepers.

Somalia

The people in Somalia didn't invent the Cotton gin, Steam Engine, Telegraph, Light Bulb, Telephone, Internal Combustion engine, the Automobile, the Airplane, Assembly line, Radio, Television, the Vacuum Tube, transistor, Micro-processor, penicillin, antibiotics, and too many other things to list here.

America and the rest of the western world invented these things. We invented most of them when government was largely irrelevant in our lives.

The very idea that you would equate western free markets with tribal backwaters demonstrates that you are not worth wasting time on.

So F-off, bozo.

That is exactly what scares the crap out of the psychotic, money mongering, human trash with delusions of godhood. They witnessed freedom loving Americans come together like no society in the history of this planet and project a will and an industrial might during WWII that has never been equaled. This human tripe has no other choice except to bring down America before they are destroyed by the decendents of those freedom loving Americans. They are scared stupid and that is certainly evident given the present day events.

If the Fed pursues a "Quantitative Easing" #3, we'll see gold at $2,500 an ounce.

We will also see mass hysteria on left, as they channel the dead ghost of FDR to bash "speculators" to try and shift blame from government boobs and tyrants to the market.

Fortunately, the government no longer has monopoly control of the media. So, the outcome is going to be very different than it was in the 1930s. Very different.

Yep. I completely agree.

In the 1930s, people in cahoots with the government had a monopoly in the media. Americans didn't get the truth. This is no longer the case. This scares the crap out of the government tyrants.

Govt built roads that made the auto practical to own, the Wright Brothers would have gone nowhere if not for govt military contracts and the govt subsidized airports and so on. In cases where there was no govt subsidy the fact that the govt enforced patent rights is a major catalyst for innovation. The assembly line, sad that you do not know this - was not invented by Hentry Ford and existed in one form or another throughout time.

If not for the military and govt subsidies (US Post saved the airline businesses at one point when they initiated air mail at a loss) we would still be flying bi-planes made of cloth and wood. If not for orderly and well built roads by the govt automobiles would not be as wide spread as they are today. You seem to forget that the national road system was only built in the USA after WW2 by that commie Ike Eisenhower.

Not usually on private, sometimes a permit on certain public lands. You can still place a claim on most BLM or Forest Service lands if you can find any areas that are unclaimed that have anything worth prospecting. I'm talking pick and shovel type mining not anything requiring the removal and processing of large amounts of material.
